El páncreas heterotópico corresponde a tejido pancreático fuera de su localización habitual. Dentro de sus localizaciones más frecuentes, se encuentran el duodeno, el estómago y el yeyuno proximal. En la mayoría de los casos es un hallazgo imagenológico incidental, cuyo diagnóstico definitivo se obtiene a través de un estudio histológico, ya que sus características no son patognomónicas. En este trabajo describimos una serie de cuatro casos de páncreas heterotópicos como nódulos yeyunales incidentales, visualizados mediante tomografía computada y tomografía por emisión de positrones, todos con confirmación histológica posquirúrgica.
